1986_clt-sfo_kgei-knbr

            KGEI (shortwave) and KNBR/680am transmitters, in tide and farm land at the far end of Redwood Shores. 

KGEI is gone, while the land around there has been entirely re-purposed. On the far side of the transmitter site are canals and suburbs fronting water and road. To the left of KGEI (the collection of towers on the left) is a sanitation plant.

KNBR, however, stands today much as it did then.

The active tower is the tall one, which is sectionalized to behave like one electrically taller. It stands midway between a shorter self-supporting auxiliary tower that was once one of two holding aloft a vertical radiator in the middle, where the main tower now stands.

I'm not sure when the auxiliary tower was built, but I do know the main tower went up in 1947. 

KGEI was active until 1994. Its towers are long gone when I write this, in 2020. Its building is now offices.
